THE LORD’S PRAYER : M. M. NINAN<br />

The <strong>Prayer</strong> To Our Father<br />

(translated into first century Aramaic)<br />

Abwûn<br />

"Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes,<br />

d'bwaschmâja<br />

who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.<br />

Nethkâdasch schmach<br />

May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.<br />

Têtê malkuthach.<br />

Your Heavenly Domain approaches.<br />

Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d'bwaschmâja af b'arha.<br />

Let Your will come true - in the universe (all that vibrates)<br />

just as on earth (that is material and dense).<br />

Hawvlân lachma d'sûnkanân jaomâna.<br />

Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need,<br />

Waschboklân chaubên wachtahên aikâna<br />

daf chnân schwoken l'chaijabên.<br />

detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma)<br />

like we let go the guilt of others.<br />

Wela tachlân l'nesjuna<br />

Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations),<br />

ela patzân min bischa.<br />

but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose.<br />

Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila wateschbuchta l'ahlâm almîn.<br />

From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act,<br />

the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.<br />

Amên.<br />

Sealed in trust, faith and truth.<br />

(I confirm with my entire being)<br />

Lords <strong>Prayer</strong><br />

Translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz in <strong>Prayer</strong>s of the Cosmos<br />

O Birther! Father- Mother of the Cosmos<br />

Focus your light within us - make it useful.<br />

Create your reign of unity nowthrough<br />

our fiery hearts and willing hands<br />

Help us love beyond our ideals<br />

and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.<br />

Animate the earth within us: we then<br />

feel the Wisdom underneath supporting all.<br />

Untangle the knots within<br />

so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each other.<br />

Don't let surface things delude us,<br />

But free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.<br />

Out of you, the astonishing fire,<br />

Returning light and sound to the cosmos.<br />

Amen.<br />
